I know how passionated "best goal" discussion can get, but i will try to explain my choice(with my poor english skills, not beeing a native speaker, i apologize in advance for that).

The Bergkamp goal is one of this really rare moments of technical perfect execution in a decisive moment.
You dream of controlling a pass and scoring like that in a game, you practice it in many training sessions and it may work out once or twice, but in a crucial situation it usually don't.

The Maradona goal against England is not a moment of technical perfection, it was a moment of taking advantage of situational circumstances using his undoubtlessly genius creativity.

I guess i'm getting too philosophical here

Are you guys joking? I am a big fan of Bergkamp and the Netherlands and Maradona goal against England was impressive. But seriously, best goal ever in a WC? Carlos Alberto goal in the 1970 final, Brazil-Italy!!!! Best team ever, best goal ever. Nuff said. There is no competition.

If you can't see that this goal is pure genius,- great art in fact- then you don't understand the game. It is Pele's pass that makes it art. Look at his body shape as he passes it without even looking up . He knows precisely where Carols Alberto is, not﻿ when he passes it, but where he will be when he strikes it four seconds later Poetry!

Carlo Alberto speaking of the goal.
